Bernie Sanders Beating Jeb Bush: Liberal Democrat Sanders Has More Support Than Every 2016 Republican Candidate In New Poll

According to the latest polling, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) presidential campaign has more support than the campaign of media favorites Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and every other Republican candidate.

The latest Quinnipiac Poll revealed that five Republicans are tied at the top of the Republican field. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Ben Carson, and Mike Huckabee each were at 10%.

Do you know who is more popular than even the most popular 2016 Republicans? Sen. Bernie Sanders. In the same poll, Sanders was supported by 15% of Democrats for their party’s nomination. Sen. Sanders trailed Hillary Clinton 57%-15%, but his fifteen percent made him the second most popular presidential candidate in the country.

The media treats Republicans like Carly Fiorina (2%), Ted Cruz (6%), and Rand Paul (7%) like they are serious candidates, but Bernie Sanders has two to seven times more support than these three Republicans.

You're really comparing apples to oranges. Bernie gets the vote of everyone who doesn't want Hillary basically. Until Omalley enters that is. Then he'll fade away. The Republicans don't have a clear front runner juggernaut and a lot more candidates. So the pie is made into more slices. You can't say Bernie has more support than any republican. Bernie has more support among Democrats than any Republican does in their party. Who cares? Show me a head to head poll of a theoretical match up of Bernie vs each Republican and then there's something worth looking at. For full disclosure I'd be thrilled if Bernie was the next president.

The article and the OP have to be one of the most misleading implications. The poll was not a head to head contest between Sanders and any Republican. The Republican support is divided up among several candidates, so the percentage for each one reflects that simple fact.

I'm sure the article authors know what they are doing, but poor KissTheSky was completely ignorant of the slight of hand.

If only you were half as vigilant at policing Southbeach's ignorance and sleight of hand. He's got more tricks than David Copperfield. Oh sorry, I forgot, you "see no deceit from Southbeach".

You can choose to interpret the poll results however you like.But the data is clear:Clinton has the most support, Sanders is second and the Republicans are considerably behind Sanders.Will some things change between now and the election? Of course, but the poll's findings are a snapshot of current support.

But comparing support for Hillary or Sanders to support for Bush, or any other Republican, as suggested by the article and your thread title, is meaningless because the Republican support is divided up among many more candidates than the Democratic support.

Additionally, Romney threw the election; because, he's a RINO, NOT a Republican––Exactly the way McCain did 4 years prior; same reason/s.FYI "genuine" Republicans and all conservatives consider the RINO's Highly-Treasonous.
